Default Calling all Photoshop Gurus..

I love the C6 headlights....
Can you photochop C6 headlights on a C5?

I am thinking about getting the C5R lights but i really don't like them compared to the style and shape of the C6 lights...

AND before someone starts flaming me.... I DONT WANT A C6.... and I am not trying to pull off my car as a C6... just like the lights

This one was made a long time ago by a forum member...



If someone can photochop a normal picture with C6 lights on a C5 that would be awesome... especially on a white vette

U can use this pic... forum memebrs car...


Thanks

I could chop them on...but they wouldn't fit in real life...the angles are all wrong. The best you'd be able to do is make some that are similar, and that's going to be very expensive.

The angles are all wrong? I was hoping to find a good body shop that would be able to cutt into my front fenders and mold the lights in...

While I've done my share of bashing the C6 when I first saw pictures of them, I now gotta say that those are fabulous looking cars. Nice to be in the same car family as they are...

Okay...you're going to have to cut into not only your front fenders, but also your front bumper, maybe part of your hood. Then you're going to have to fill in areas where the old light used to be and try to make it look blended in. All in all...I'd guess you might be able to have a body shop fabricate it for $1-2k. That, on top of the $1500 per light C6 pricing...do you really want to spend 3-5k to do this?

I dunno about 5k... But sometimes when i really like something I will ... I would much rather spend $1500 on C6 lights than $1000 on C5R lights which are made very poorly (so ive heard)... I think the C6 lights sweet an when put on a C5 looks very exotic.. but to each their own opinion...

So if anyone could please photochop some pics of C6 lights on a C5 that would be great...

Thanks

I gotta say, I like the looks of the new lights, and they do look pretty good on the front of that C5!

I have to say I think the C6 lights looks ten times better on the C5! The C5 is so much more sexier then the C6.
